Pojęcie szczęścia w dyskursie potocznym i naukowym

Abstract

A common feature of the definition of happiness (both in scientific and everyday image of the world) is that this is 1) short-lived state (mental event), which is a ‘a feeling’, ‘a very good mood’, ‘a kind of feeling similar to the feeling of a great joy’, ‘great contentment’, ‘great pleasure’, ‘great satisfaction’, ‘value’ (‘object of desire’); 2) ‘long-term disposition’ understood as ‘welfare’ (‘bliss, harmony, inner peace’, ‘great joy of life’; ‘feelings with the attribute of an attitude’ meaning ‘positive balance of life’), ‘value’ encountered (perceived) as if unnoticed (unintentionally), but present when man lives in harmony with God and nature.
